From the London Court Journal. Virtue Itewartleil. On the 3d of Jununry, during the cold which reigned ho severely in Paris, nt the moment when the snow wan tailing in heavy llakca, a stoppage of passengers, horses nnd vehicles took place suddenly ot the corner of the Hue St. lionore und tho Hue do I'ArhrcSec. " What's tho matter?" asked a young man, whose accent declared him to bean inhabitant of (he south of France. " I really can't inform you, Monsieur, I was going to ask tho question myself." " It's only a man who has fallen on tho ice," said an orange woiuun, who had overheard the colloquy "nothing more. Two sous apiece como buy !" " It's a man dead drunk," said a porter, pushing his way out of the crowd. "Halt!" cried an old woman, "I het that it's one of those cureud omnibusses which has overturned some poor wretch. I had my leg broken by one two years ago!" " No such thing," cried a stout man, warmly wrapped up in a thick wrap-rascal, a large handkerchief up to his nose, and his hands fixed in his side-pockets "It's no such thing. It's a mnn struck with cold and hunger, lie is dying that's evident. Poor man! These things quite affect me! I should have stopped to lend him some assistance, but the fact is I am too late as it is, fur my wife is waiting dinner for me. Pardon, Monsieur, permit me to pass." 'J'ho stranger, however, to whom this request wa9 addressed, pushed the stout man in the contrary direction, and pressed through tho crowd of gazers until he arrived, and without difficulty, at the spot where the cause of this assemblage was lying. There, near tho fountain, was extended ou the ice, an old mnn, scarcely covered with a few rags. The stranger yielding only lo the dictates of a kind heart, stooped down, and was in the act of raising tho unhappy man, when a cry broko tho silenco of tho crowd, and a sweet voico exclaimed, " It's my poor old man !" At the same moment a young girl piercing the crowd, joined her feeble aid to that of the stranger. "ou know him, then?" ho demnnded, without looking at the new comer, but in trying to prevent her from having any share of the burden. " Yes and no, Monsieur," she replied, taking out a smelling bottlo. "J know him by sight, but am ignorant of his name." A third person came to add his assistance to tho efforts of the young people " It is old (Jerald !" ho said. "Ho must have gone out this morning, the first for these four days. This way, Monsieur," said he, speaking to the stranger, "he lives here, at number 30, and I am tho porter of tho house. Come let nie take your placo, my little woman." continued he to the young girl ; "this gentleman and I can tako him to his room in the top of tho house. It is sheer want that has reduced him to this state. They say he was once rich, and I beliovn it; for it is only the rich, who allow themselves to furnish from hunger when they are poor we have still two stories to go up I would not be guilty of such a foolish act; 1 would at once go to tho Mayor and demand aid. Tulte caro the stitirs are not steep ; it is so dark hero you can't well soo it. It is different with me, I am used to tho plu.ee that's the door. Push ! He never needed a key to lock tip his property, poor man. They say Gerald is not his name Diublo! how cold it is up here tinder these tiles ! " They placed tho old mnn on somo s'raw in one corner of the garret, and the stranger hastened to feel his pulse. "He is dying of cold and want," said he; "hero, my friend, hero's somo money for you ; bring up some soup, gome wine, and a fire." Tho porter held out hi s hund for tho money, when tho stringer suddenly exclaimed, after having searched his pockets, " Good heaven ! they have taken my purse !" and his features expressed most vividly, vexation and fear for the old man's recovery. " I will got them," cried a gentle voice j it was that of the young girl, who had followed them unperceiv-ed. She hurried out the room, and returned speedily ; for she perceived that the slightest delay might be fatal. A woman followed her bringing fire nnd wood, wilh which she lit a fire and then retired. The young messenger was loaded with a bottle of wine, a small loaf, ond the wing of a fowl, wrapped up in a piece of newspaper. She placed the wholo near Ihe old man, and then, kneeling down arranged the fire and stirred it up lo a blaze. The old man by degrees recovered his senses; ho was presented with food in small quantities, and in a short time animation was restored. Too weak to thank his benefactors, he could only express his feelings by looks of the most touching gratitude, particularly when thoy rested on the young girl, still occupied near the hearth. To the stranger she appeared nothing else than a charming and mysterious vision. Who could this young creature be, who so earnestly and effectively devoted to a work of charity, when ber own attire gave every indication of privation and penury ? Cold as tho weather was, the bonnet which encircled her dulicate and beautiful features was of black straw ; the silk gloves mended in several places, served to cover her hands but certainly not to guarantee them from the cold. An old cashmere, worn to the last extremity, was thrown over a faded gown of dark silk; and her whole appearance betokened the absence of any warm garment The young man would undoubtedly have been struck by the extreme beauty of her features had there been no other charm to attract him ; but there was about her that indescribable something which pleases more than mere beaut) and that ir, a union of goodness and elegance, which is, indeed, but seldom to be met with, but when seen is irresistible. At last her self-imposed task was over she approached the old man, and stooping down towards him, nodded her head kindly as she uttered the words, 14 1 will soon return. " She then took up a small case which alio had put down on her entrance, and saluting the stranger, she left the room and descended the narrow stairs with a rapid step. The young man gazed on her a moment and then turned towards the invalid. " I, 011 the contrary, shall not return, for I leave Paris this evening ; but you shall soon hear from me." He then pressed the old man's hand kindly and departed. When he emerged from the gateway of the house into the street, though hopeless of seeing his young assistant in tho work of benevolence in which he had been engaged, he still could not avoid looking round to see if by chance she was still in sighL As chance would have it, she was standing as if undecided at the door of a jeweller's shop at some distance. At STATE COLUMBUS, THURSDAY, APRIL 17, last she appeared to have formed her determination, for she opened tho door and entered. Without exactly analyzing the cause of his curiosity, the stranger approached the window of tho shop and observed what was going on within. Ho saw the young girl take off her gloves, and whilst he was admiring the dazzling whiteness and ar stocratic form of the hnnd, she" drow, with some emotion, a ring from her finger and presented it to the person at the counter. He took it, examined it carefully, rubbed and tested tl.o stone, and then methodically took a small pair of ecnles, and having ascertained the weight, offered his customer a price, w hich it was easy to see she accepted, from the movement of assent with which sho bent her head." The jeweller opened a drawer, and counted out some money, which he pushed over the counter; and having written down the name and address, he cast the rinir into another drawer, amomrst a heap of jewels of all sorts and colors. The girl men ueparien, and in a minute afterwards the young man entered the shop. In a short time afterwards she turned into a plain looking house, in one of tho streets oil' the Rue St. lionore; and oponinjr the door of a room on therue-de-chatissee, she entered hastily, crying. "Here I am, dear mother. You nmat have been uneasy at my long absence ?" . Madame Keviul, tho person to whom these words were addressed, appeared infirm, though more from trouble than from years. She wns stretched on a sola, and appeared in delicato health. Her features, unusually palo, assumed an appearance of animation when her daughter entered, and then immediately became more sombre than before. "Dear Anna," said sho. "I have an nnnlcasunt pieco of news to acquaint you with ; it was this perhaps that inuile mo ralher fear your return, than tako note of your prolonged absence." Anna, having cast on a chair her shawl and bon net, immediately seated herself on a low stool nenr the end of tho sofa which supported her mother's head. The latter passed her hand 'affectionately over the dark hair of her daughter, and then contin- lion : "You know that your father had promised your hand to the son of M. Uuiwtc. of Bordeaux, his old est friend. The death of your futher the length J enea illness which has so much reduced me had not overcome my courage, as lone as I could live in tho hope of seeing you one day rich and happy, under the protection of a worthy husband. This very morning the scaffolding of happiness, which I loved so much to build up for you, fell to the ground. x ma luiwruuuresseu 10 our otu iiaDitation, ougntto have come to hand yesterday. Here, read for vour- self." .... Anna took the letter which her mother held out to her, and looking at the signature, remarked, '-It is from Jules liaac himself;" sho then reud the contents."Madame As long as fortune smiled on me, I thought with delioht on the alliance which M. Ke viul and my father contracted fur me; but the late fuiluro of tho firm of Damlolins & Co., has drawn on ours; and aa a man of hofior I deem myself bound to restoie to you your promise. If your daughter and myself were well acquainted, and if mutual affection had been the basis of tho projected union, I would have bent my kneo before you, Madame, and prayed to wait until I repaired our disaster; but have I tho right to call on another to partake in my poverty, and to join in my labors? Do I even know what space or time it may tako to acquire a fortuuo worthy of that which you have lost? Ho that is above can only tell. Your daughter, brought up under your protecting care, is, so I am informed, both amia-blo and lovely. Who .s thcro then, who will not be proud and happy to give her an honorable name, and a position in society equal to that in which she was born? As to me, I have nothing left, and unwilling, ly I am forced to renounce the favor designed for me. You will pardon me, Madame, for leaving Parts without paying my respects to you; but I should fear, after having seen your daughter, to carry with mo a keen regret, which might trouble the calm of an existence now consecrated to labor. Furewell then, Madame; believe mo to be penetrated with every sentiment of respect for you, and to remain, your most humblo and obedient servant, Jules Darsac." The young girl paused a moment after reading the note, and then raising her eyes to meet her mother's she remarked, as she placed it on the work table: "Do you not think, mother, the letter is porfect; except the too high opinion expressed of me? I really think that M. ilarsac writes with the utmost good sense. I almost regret that I had not seen a man whose conduct is actuated by such honorable motives.""This letter," said Madame Rcvial, mournfully, "certainly augments my regret. I feel that I could have loved this young ti'in as a son. Now what a different lot awaits you! Are you not terrified at the idea of being obliged to work for your poor mother?" "How unkind," said Anna, "how unlike yourself! Why, what is it, after all? Formerly I embroidered to amuse myself, now I do the same to contribute to your comfort The latter will he surely the more a-greeablc. Besides, I can do it now so much more cheerfully. Look, I have disposed of the collar," and sho snowed the empty case which she had brought too, "and here's the price obtained for it," placing three pieces of money on the tatle. A light knock at the door interrupted the conversation; Anna cast a look of inquietude at her mother, fur since the loss of their fortune no visit had broken their solitude. "Go and open it," said the lady. With a smile she obeyed, and the opened door gave entrance to a man, whom sho immediately recoguized, as the stranger who had assisted the poor old sufferer. The countenance of Mademoiselle Itevial at once assumed a grave and severe expression. Her mother perceived the change, but before she could make an inquiry into the cause, the stranger advanced and saluting her with respect, said, "Madame, you are, I presume, the mother of this young lady?" Madame Revial made a sign of assent, and pointed out a chair to the stranger. He took it and continued, "chance this morning brought Mademoiselle and myself together in affording assistance to an unhappy " "Oh! mother," interrupted the young girl whose neck and face was covered with blushes at this allusion to the morning's adventure, "I have not had time to tell yon about it. Do you remember the poor old man who generally took up his station at the door of our hotel formerly? He always wore a green hand-age over his eyes, to conceal bis face from the uas- sera-by, and held a small basket of matches in bis hand." JO RNAL 1345. "Y'es," interrupted Madame Revial in her turn, "I remember hitn well; your futher always dropped some money into the basket when returning from the Bourse. You always used to call him your poor old man; and you, as little as you were, del tghted in giving him everything you could scrape together." "Well, since our departure from the hotel, we have asked each othhr a hundred times what could have become of him." "Yes," said Mad. Rcvial, with evident interest. "Well, mother, I found him to-day, at lust, but in such a wretched state that 1 was really shocked. Stretched on the snow, dying, absolutely, of cold and hunger; and, without tho kind assistance of this gentleman, he must have perished where ho lay." "Say rather without yours," said the young man earnestly. "I could do nothing for I had lost my purse. To you, and you alone, is he indebted fur life. But, continued he, in a different tone seeing the color again mounting to Anna's face, "It is not for the purpose of disclosing to this lady, the secret of your good actions that I have followed you here; it is to request you to make the troublo of buying bed and some other little necessaries for this poor child of misfortune. Here are a hundred francs, that you will have thu kindness to employ for this purpose. I prny you to believe that if I was not a stranger in Paris, and on the point of quitting it this very evening, 1 would not take this liberty wilh persons to whom 1 am unknown. I trust that you will excuse my request""There is no necessity to offer an apology," said Mad. Rcvial; "on the contrary, we ought tu thank you for having selected us to complete a benevolent action." ".Now Madam," added the young man in a hesitating and timid manner, "it only remains for ine to inquire the name of my young sister in this work of kindness." . "Mademoiselle Anna Itevial." A cry of astonishment broke from tho stranger "The daughter of M. Keviul, of Bordeaux, who last his fortune by trusting in a friend, and died of grief?" "Alas, you have but too truly stated the case. How dues it happen that you are acquainted with these facts?" "I am Jules Barsac,"said tho young man in a voice scarcely audible. Anna grew palo and went and placed herself near her mother's seat. A mournful silenco succeeded for a short time, and it was Jules who broke it " Ah ! Madame," said he, suddenly rising, " I perceive that I yesterday sent you my renunciation of a life of happiness. This letter, he repeated, as he slightly touched it with the finger of his right hand, with a look of disgust" permit me to destroy it, and to forget that it was ever written." Looking from one lady to the other, and seeing no sign of opposition, he tore it down the middle, and threw the portions into the fire. He watched them until the flames had seized on every part ; and then, as if content that it was wholly and irrecoverably destroy ed, lie approached Aladame Keviul, and bent hit knee bctoro her, as she regarded alternately with the utmost satisfaction, her daughter, and him whom she would have chosen fur her son-in-law, if tho choice had been in her power. " Or if the memory of this unhappy letter cannot altogether pass away, and if part of it must still remain in your remembrance, think only of tho words which suy, ' If your daughter and myself had been acquainted.' We are acquainted, and know each other already as if we had never been apart I just now called Mademoiselle by the name of sister; let me call her by another name, not less kind, but more sacred that of wife. I have no fortune to offer her, but I feel animated by double courage and hope. For her for you, Madame, who will never quit us, I will work with energy and determination, and I feel that I shall succeed in my efforts. Oh, Madame, deign to answer me! Hut you weep you give mo your hand you con sent to my request ?" "And you, Anna, whst do roti sny .'" asked Mad ame Rcvial, as she held out the other to her daugh ter. "Have I ever any other will than yours, dear mo ther ?" and she pressed the hand to Iter iips. " lou consent, then, Mademoiselle .- stud Jules ; then you will allow mo to present you this ring as a mark of our engagement" lie handed her a little ring set round wilh tur quoises. It is Anna s ring!" said Madame Rcvial, with surprise. "Yes, mother," said Anna, nmto confused; " I was obliged to sell it to replace tho tnoncv I received for my embroidery." " It was in purchasing it that I discovered your address, although you entered in the jeweler's book only the name of Anna. It is to this ring that I owe the happiness of again beholding you." He took, as he spoke, the unresisting hand of the young girl and placed on her finger the pledge of their union. The same evening, in order to fulfil the benevolent intentions of M. Barsac, who was obliged to leave town for Bordeaux, Anna returned to the old man's lodgings. He was no longer to be found ; he had disappeared without pointing out his new abode. A month after, in the humble lodging of Madame Revial, a fow were assembled to witness the signing of Uie marriage contract before tho notary, who soon made his sppearance ; he was followed by an elderly man richly attired. As the latter was not introduced, no person took much notice of him, for each was too much occupied wilh the ceremony for which they had come together. Madame Revial was still an invalid and had her daughter seated near her. Jules Barsac was standing on the other side. The notary placed his portfolio on the table, and took from it a marriage contract, which he proceeded to read aloud. After having specified the little property of the bridegroom, he went on to detail the fortune of the lady " Madame Revial makes over to her daughter the sum of 1,000 per year" "You are making a mistake, Monsieur," interrupted Madame Revial, " formerly, indeed, I did intend"The notary, without paying any attention to the interruption, continued "1,000 a year, arising from money in the public funds, lor which here are the securities." . Saying this, he displayed the coupons on the table and Madame Revial, the daughter, and Jules Bar sac, all made a movement as if about to speak, when the aged man arose and made a sign for them to remain silent Surprised at this interference, they awaited with interest the result of this strange scene. " What!" said the old man, with a broken voice, and addressing Anna, " what Mademoiselle ! do you not remember Jfonr poor old man V While she was looking earnestly at him, trying to NUMBER 166. read in his venerable countenance the marks of misery and suffering, he continued "You have, then, forgotten ten years of daily kindness? You have forgotten the 3d of January with the assistance you gavesopportunely the fire, the wine, and the wing of a fowl wrapped up in a piece of newspaper? All forgotten? Well, that very piece of newspaper is the cause of all my misery being at an end. In the advertisement which it bore I read the intelligence that a French gentleman named Francois de Chazel had been for years seeking in vain for bis brother, Jacques de Chazel, ruined, like him, in the revolution; and that, by his will, he had ordered an advertisement to bo inserted every week for three years, that his brolher minht come torwnril and claim his ample fortune. That Jacques de Chazel stnnds now before you; it is 1! "Without delay I set out tor London, and only returned yesterday. Your notary." continued lie. speaking to Madauio Revial, "is mine; from him I jiearu 01 tiio intended marriage of your daughter. To that angel I owe my life and the least I can do is to present her with a part of that fortune, which without her, never would have reached my hands." "But, Monsieur," said Madame Revial, with emotion, "perhaps you have a family?" "Yes, Madame," replied ho, bowing low as ho spoke, "if you will admit me into yours." i "Ah, you have made part of our family br such a long time!" said Anna, pressing in her hands those of Al. de Chazel; then, with a gesture full of nnivette and grace, pointing to her intended husband, sho added, in a low voice, "It is he who took you up. Do you recollect him? Ah! you say that to 1110 you owo your life; if you only knew how much lam indebted to you if you only knew it! But ve will separate no more, and shall have time to tell you all about it." - Jules came forward to present the pen to his bride, and they both signed the marriage contract Formed under such auspices, who can doubt that it was a happy one ?

We find in the Mechanics' Magazine, the follow ing account of a chemical experiment for producing artificial ice, which would undoubtedly be very interesting to witness; and there are many, whom it would be a difficult task to convince of its reality by any thing abort of occular demonstration : " One of the most singularly beautiful experiment perhaps ever devised, has been recently published by M. Provotshire, illustrative of the repellant power of heat radiating from bodies of high temperature, and the rapid abstraction of heat produced by evaporation, or generally by such a change of condition as largely increases the volume of any body. The experiment is simply thisi A platinum crucible is made and maintained red-hot, over a large spirit lamp. Some sulphurous acid is poured into it from a pipette. This acid, though at common temperatures one of the most volatile of known bodies, possesses the singular property of remaining fixed in the red-hot crucible, and not a drop of it evaporates ; in fact, it is not in contact with the crucible, but has an atmosphere of its own interposed. A few drops of common water are now added to the sulphurous acid in the red-hot crucible. The diluted acid gets into immediate contact with the heated metal instantly flashes ofT into sulphurous acid vapor, and such ia the rapidity and energy of the evaporation, that the water remains behind, and it is found frozen into a lump of ice in the red-hot crucible, from which, seizing the moment before it again melts, it may be thrown out before the eyes of the astonished observer." The Euffalo correspondent of the Rochester Daily Democrat, writing from that city, on the 4th inst gives the following extraordinary intelligence: -u EAunuruuiary excitement nas prevailed at Qtieenston and Lewiston for the last three days.

From the London Court Journal. Virtue Itewartleil. On the 3d of Jununry, during the cold which reigned ho severely in Paris, nt the moment when the snow wan tailing in heavy llakca, a stoppage of passengers, horses nnd vehicles took place suddenly ot the corner of the Hue St. lionore und tho Hue do I'ArhrcSec. " What's tho matter?" asked a young man, whose accent declared him to bean inhabitant of (he south of France. " I really can't inform you, Monsieur, I was going to ask tho question myself." " It's only a man who has fallen on tho ice," said an orange woiuun, who had overheard the colloquy "nothing more. Two sous apiece como buy !" " It's a man dead drunk," said a porter, pushing his way out of the crowd. "Halt!" cried an old woman, "I het that it's one of those cureud omnibusses which has overturned some poor wretch. I had my leg broken by one two years ago!" " No such thing," cried a stout man, warmly wrapped up in a thick wrap-rascal, a large handkerchief up to his nose, and his hands fixed in his side-pockets "It's no such thing. It's a mnn struck with cold and hunger, lie is dying that's evident. Poor man! These things quite affect me! I should have stopped to lend him some assistance, but the fact is I am too late as it is, fur my wife is waiting dinner for me. Pardon, Monsieur, permit me to pass." 'J'ho stranger, however, to whom this request wa9 addressed, pushed the stout man in the contrary direction, and pressed through tho crowd of gazers until he arrived, and without difficulty, at the spot where the cause of this assemblage was lying. There, near tho fountain, was extended ou the ice, an old mnn, scarcely covered with a few rags. The stranger yielding only lo the dictates of a kind heart, stooped down, and was in the act of raising tho unhappy man, when a cry broko tho silenco of tho crowd, and a sweet voico exclaimed, " It's my poor old man !" At the same moment a young girl piercing the crowd, joined her feeble aid to that of the stranger. "ou know him, then?" ho demnnded, without looking at the new comer, but in trying to prevent her from having any share of the burden. " Yes and no, Monsieur," she replied, taking out a smelling bottlo. "J know him by sight, but am ignorant of his name." A third person came to add his assistance to tho efforts of the young people " It is old (Jerald !" ho said. "Ho must have gone out this morning, the first for these four days. This way, Monsieur," said he, speaking to the stranger, "he lives here, at number 30, and I am tho porter of tho house. Come let nie take your placo, my little woman." continued he to the young girl ; "this gentleman and I can tako him to his room in the top of tho house. It is sheer want that has reduced him to this state. They say he was once rich, and I beliovn it; for it is only the rich, who allow themselves to furnish from hunger when they are poor we have still two stories to go up I would not be guilty of such a foolish act; 1 would at once go to tho Mayor and demand aid. Tulte caro the stitirs are not steep ; it is so dark hero you can't well soo it. It is different with me, I am used to tho plu.ee that's the door. Push ! He never needed a key to lock tip his property, poor man. They say Gerald is not his name Diublo! how cold it is up here tinder these tiles ! " They placed tho old mnn on somo s'raw in one corner of the garret, and the stranger hastened to feel his pulse. "He is dying of cold and want," said he; "hero, my friend, hero's somo money for you ; bring up some soup, gome wine, and a fire." Tho porter held out hi s hund for tho money, when tho stringer suddenly exclaimed, after having searched his pockets, " Good heaven ! they have taken my purse !" and his features expressed most vividly, vexation and fear for the old man's recovery. " I will got them," cried a gentle voice j it was that of the young girl, who had followed them unperceiv-ed. She hurried out the room, and returned speedily ; for she perceived that the slightest delay might be fatal. A woman followed her bringing fire nnd wood, wilh which she lit a fire and then retired. The young messenger was loaded with a bottle of wine, a small loaf, ond the wing of a fowl, wrapped up in a piece of newspaper. She placed the wholo near Ihe old man, and then, kneeling down arranged the fire and stirred it up lo a blaze. The old man by degrees recovered his senses; ho was presented with food in small quantities, and in a short time animation was restored. Too weak to thank his benefactors, he could only express his feelings by looks of the most touching gratitude, particularly when thoy rested on the young girl, still occupied near the hearth. To the stranger she appeared nothing else than a charming and mysterious vision. Who could this young creature be, who so earnestly and effectively devoted to a work of charity, when ber own attire gave every indication of privation and penury ? Cold as tho weather was, the bonnet which encircled her dulicate and beautiful features was of black straw ; the silk gloves mended in several places, served to cover her hands but certainly not to guarantee them from the cold. An old cashmere, worn to the last extremity, was thrown over a faded gown of dark silk; and her whole appearance betokened the absence of any warm garment The young man would undoubtedly have been struck by the extreme beauty of her features had there been no other charm to attract him ; but there was about her that indescribable something which pleases more than mere beaut) and that ir, a union of goodness and elegance, which is, indeed, but seldom to be met with, but when seen is irresistible. At last her self-imposed task was over she approached the old man, and stooping down towards him, nodded her head kindly as she uttered the words, 14 1 will soon return. " She then took up a small case which alio had put down on her entrance, and saluting the stranger, she left the room and descended the narrow stairs with a rapid step. The young man gazed on her a moment and then turned towards the invalid. " I, 011 the contrary, shall not return, for I leave Paris this evening ; but you shall soon hear from me." He then pressed the old man's hand kindly and departed. When he emerged from the gateway of the house into the street, though hopeless of seeing his young assistant in tho work of benevolence in which he had been engaged, he still could not avoid looking round to see if by chance she was still in sighL As chance would have it, she was standing as if undecided at the door of a jeweller's shop at some distance. At STATE COLUMBUS, THURSDAY, APRIL 17, last she appeared to have formed her determination, for she opened tho door and entered. Without exactly analyzing the cause of his curiosity, the stranger approached the window of tho shop and observed what was going on within. Ho saw the young girl take off her gloves, and whilst he was admiring the dazzling whiteness and ar stocratic form of the hnnd, she" drow, with some emotion, a ring from her finger and presented it to the person at the counter. He took it, examined it carefully, rubbed and tested tl.o stone, and then methodically took a small pair of ecnles, and having ascertained the weight, offered his customer a price, w hich it was easy to see she accepted, from the movement of assent with which sho bent her head." The jeweller opened a drawer, and counted out some money, which he pushed over the counter; and having written down the name and address, he cast the rinir into another drawer, amomrst a heap of jewels of all sorts and colors. The girl men ueparien, and in a minute afterwards the young man entered the shop. In a short time afterwards she turned into a plain looking house, in one of tho streets oil' the Rue St. lionore; and oponinjr the door of a room on therue-de-chatissee, she entered hastily, crying. "Here I am, dear mother. You nmat have been uneasy at my long absence ?" . Madame Keviul, tho person to whom these words were addressed, appeared infirm, though more from trouble than from years. She wns stretched on a sola, and appeared in delicato health. Her features, unusually palo, assumed an appearance of animation when her daughter entered, and then immediately became more sombre than before. "Dear Anna," said sho. "I have an nnnlcasunt pieco of news to acquaint you with ; it was this perhaps that inuile mo ralher fear your return, than tako note of your prolonged absence." Anna, having cast on a chair her shawl and bon net, immediately seated herself on a low stool nenr the end of tho sofa which supported her mother's head. The latter passed her hand 'affectionately over the dark hair of her daughter, and then contin- lion : "You know that your father had promised your hand to the son of M. Uuiwtc. of Bordeaux, his old est friend. The death of your futher the length J enea illness which has so much reduced me had not overcome my courage, as lone as I could live in tho hope of seeing you one day rich and happy, under the protection of a worthy husband. This very morning the scaffolding of happiness, which I loved so much to build up for you, fell to the ground. x ma luiwruuuresseu 10 our otu iiaDitation, ougntto have come to hand yesterday. Here, read for vour- self." .... Anna took the letter which her mother held out to her, and looking at the signature, remarked, '-It is from Jules liaac himself;" sho then reud the contents."Madame As long as fortune smiled on me, I thought with delioht on the alliance which M. Ke viul and my father contracted fur me; but the late fuiluro of tho firm of Damlolins & Co., has drawn on ours; and aa a man of hofior I deem myself bound to restoie to you your promise. If your daughter and myself were well acquainted, and if mutual affection had been the basis of tho projected union, I would have bent my kneo before you, Madame, and prayed to wait until I repaired our disaster; but have I tho right to call on another to partake in my poverty, and to join in my labors? Do I even know what space or time it may tako to acquire a fortuuo worthy of that which you have lost? Ho that is above can only tell. Your daughter, brought up under your protecting care, is, so I am informed, both amia-blo and lovely. Who .s thcro then, who will not be proud and happy to give her an honorable name, and a position in society equal to that in which she was born? As to me, I have nothing left, and unwilling, ly I am forced to renounce the favor designed for me. You will pardon me, Madame, for leaving Parts without paying my respects to you; but I should fear, after having seen your daughter, to carry with mo a keen regret, which might trouble the calm of an existence now consecrated to labor. Furewell then, Madame; believe mo to be penetrated with every sentiment of respect for you, and to remain, your most humblo and obedient servant, Jules Darsac." The young girl paused a moment after reading the note, and then raising her eyes to meet her mother's she remarked, as she placed it on the work table: "Do you not think, mother, the letter is porfect; except the too high opinion expressed of me? I really think that M. ilarsac writes with the utmost good sense. I almost regret that I had not seen a man whose conduct is actuated by such honorable motives.""This letter," said Madame Rcvial, mournfully, "certainly augments my regret. I feel that I could have loved this young ti'in as a son. Now what a different lot awaits you! Are you not terrified at the idea of being obliged to work for your poor mother?" "How unkind," said Anna, "how unlike yourself! Why, what is it, after all? Formerly I embroidered to amuse myself, now I do the same to contribute to your comfort The latter will he surely the more a-greeablc. Besides, I can do it now so much more cheerfully. Look, I have disposed of the collar," and sho snowed the empty case which she had brought too, "and here's the price obtained for it," placing three pieces of money on the tatle. A light knock at the door interrupted the conversation; Anna cast a look of inquietude at her mother, fur since the loss of their fortune no visit had broken their solitude. "Go and open it," said the lady. With a smile she obeyed, and the opened door gave entrance to a man, whom sho immediately recoguized, as the stranger who had assisted the poor old sufferer. The countenance of Mademoiselle Itevial at once assumed a grave and severe expression. Her mother perceived the change, but before she could make an inquiry into the cause, the stranger advanced and saluting her with respect, said, "Madame, you are, I presume, the mother of this young lady?" Madame Revial made a sign of assent, and pointed out a chair to the stranger. He took it and continued, "chance this morning brought Mademoiselle and myself together in affording assistance to an unhappy " "Oh! mother," interrupted the young girl whose neck and face was covered with blushes at this allusion to the morning's adventure, "I have not had time to tell yon about it. Do you remember the poor old man who generally took up his station at the door of our hotel formerly? He always wore a green hand-age over his eyes, to conceal bis face from the uas- sera-by, and held a small basket of matches in bis hand." JO RNAL 1345. "Y'es," interrupted Madame Revial in her turn, "I remember hitn well; your futher always dropped some money into the basket when returning from the Bourse. You always used to call him your poor old man; and you, as little as you were, del tghted in giving him everything you could scrape together." "Well, since our departure from the hotel, we have asked each othhr a hundred times what could have become of him." "Yes," said Mad. Rcvial, with evident interest. "Well, mother, I found him to-day, at lust, but in such a wretched state that 1 was really shocked. Stretched on the snow, dying, absolutely, of cold and hunger; and, without tho kind assistance of this gentleman, he must have perished where ho lay." "Say rather without yours," said the young man earnestly. "I could do nothing for I had lost my purse. To you, and you alone, is he indebted fur life. But, continued he, in a different tone seeing the color again mounting to Anna's face, "It is not for the purpose of disclosing to this lady, the secret of your good actions that I have followed you here; it is to request you to make the troublo of buying bed and some other little necessaries for this poor child of misfortune. Here are a hundred francs, that you will have thu kindness to employ for this purpose. I prny you to believe that if I was not a stranger in Paris, and on the point of quitting it this very evening, 1 would not take this liberty wilh persons to whom 1 am unknown. I trust that you will excuse my request""There is no necessity to offer an apology," said Mad. Rcvial; "on the contrary, we ought tu thank you for having selected us to complete a benevolent action." ".Now Madam," added the young man in a hesitating and timid manner, "it only remains for ine to inquire the name of my young sister in this work of kindness." . "Mademoiselle Anna Itevial." A cry of astonishment broke from tho stranger "The daughter of M. Keviul, of Bordeaux, who last his fortune by trusting in a friend, and died of grief?" "Alas, you have but too truly stated the case. How dues it happen that you are acquainted with these facts?" "I am Jules Barsac,"said tho young man in a voice scarcely audible. Anna grew palo and went and placed herself near her mother's seat. A mournful silenco succeeded for a short time, and it was Jules who broke it " Ah ! Madame," said he, suddenly rising, " I perceive that I yesterday sent you my renunciation of a life of happiness. This letter, he repeated, as he slightly touched it with the finger of his right hand, with a look of disgust" permit me to destroy it, and to forget that it was ever written." Looking from one lady to the other, and seeing no sign of opposition, he tore it down the middle, and threw the portions into the fire. He watched them until the flames had seized on every part ; and then, as if content that it was wholly and irrecoverably destroy ed, lie approached Aladame Keviul, and bent hit knee bctoro her, as she regarded alternately with the utmost satisfaction, her daughter, and him whom she would have chosen fur her son-in-law, if tho choice had been in her power. " Or if the memory of this unhappy letter cannot altogether pass away, and if part of it must still remain in your remembrance, think only of tho words which suy, ' If your daughter and myself had been acquainted.' We are acquainted, and know each other already as if we had never been apart I just now called Mademoiselle by the name of sister; let me call her by another name, not less kind, but more sacred that of wife. I have no fortune to offer her, but I feel animated by double courage and hope. For her for you, Madame, who will never quit us, I will work with energy and determination, and I feel that I shall succeed in my efforts. Oh, Madame, deign to answer me! Hut you weep you give mo your hand you con sent to my request ?" "And you, Anna, whst do roti sny .'" asked Mad ame Rcvial, as she held out the other to her daugh ter. "Have I ever any other will than yours, dear mo ther ?" and she pressed the hand to Iter iips. " lou consent, then, Mademoiselle .- stud Jules ; then you will allow mo to present you this ring as a mark of our engagement" lie handed her a little ring set round wilh tur quoises. It is Anna s ring!" said Madame Rcvial, with surprise. "Yes, mother," said Anna, nmto confused; " I was obliged to sell it to replace tho tnoncv I received for my embroidery." " It was in purchasing it that I discovered your address, although you entered in the jeweler's book only the name of Anna. It is to this ring that I owe the happiness of again beholding you." He took, as he spoke, the unresisting hand of the young girl and placed on her finger the pledge of their union. The same evening, in order to fulfil the benevolent intentions of M. Barsac, who was obliged to leave town for Bordeaux, Anna returned to the old man's lodgings. He was no longer to be found ; he had disappeared without pointing out his new abode. A month after, in the humble lodging of Madame Revial, a fow were assembled to witness the signing of Uie marriage contract before tho notary, who soon made his sppearance ; he was followed by an elderly man richly attired. As the latter was not introduced, no person took much notice of him, for each was too much occupied wilh the ceremony for which they had come together. Madame Revial was still an invalid and had her daughter seated near her. Jules Barsac was standing on the other side. The notary placed his portfolio on the table, and took from it a marriage contract, which he proceeded to read aloud. After having specified the little property of the bridegroom, he went on to detail the fortune of the lady " Madame Revial makes over to her daughter the sum of 1,000 per year" "You are making a mistake, Monsieur," interrupted Madame Revial, " formerly, indeed, I did intend"The notary, without paying any attention to the interruption, continued "1,000 a year, arising from money in the public funds, lor which here are the securities." . Saying this, he displayed the coupons on the table and Madame Revial, the daughter, and Jules Bar sac, all made a movement as if about to speak, when the aged man arose and made a sign for them to remain silent Surprised at this interference, they awaited with interest the result of this strange scene. " What!" said the old man, with a broken voice, and addressing Anna, " what Mademoiselle ! do you not remember Jfonr poor old man V While she was looking earnestly at him, trying to NUMBER 166. read in his venerable countenance the marks of misery and suffering, he continued "You have, then, forgotten ten years of daily kindness? You have forgotten the 3d of January with the assistance you gavesopportunely the fire, the wine, and the wing of a fowl wrapped up in a piece of newspaper? All forgotten? Well, that very piece of newspaper is the cause of all my misery being at an end. In the advertisement which it bore I read the intelligence that a French gentleman named Francois de Chazel had been for years seeking in vain for bis brother, Jacques de Chazel, ruined, like him, in the revolution; and that, by his will, he had ordered an advertisement to bo inserted every week for three years, that his brolher minht come torwnril and claim his ample fortune. That Jacques de Chazel stnnds now before you; it is 1! "Without delay I set out tor London, and only returned yesterday. Your notary." continued lie. speaking to Madauio Revial, "is mine; from him I jiearu 01 tiio intended marriage of your daughter. To that angel I owe my life and the least I can do is to present her with a part of that fortune, which without her, never would have reached my hands." "But, Monsieur," said Madame Revial, with emotion, "perhaps you have a family?" "Yes, Madame," replied ho, bowing low as ho spoke, "if you will admit me into yours." i "Ah, you have made part of our family br such a long time!" said Anna, pressing in her hands those of Al. de Chazel; then, with a gesture full of nnivette and grace, pointing to her intended husband, sho added, in a low voice, "It is he who took you up. Do you recollect him? Ah! you say that to 1110 you owo your life; if you only knew how much lam indebted to you if you only knew it! But ve will separate no more, and shall have time to tell you all about it." - Jules came forward to present the pen to his bride, and they both signed the marriage contract Formed under such auspices, who can doubt that it was a happy one ?

We find in the Mechanics' Magazine, the follow ing account of a chemical experiment for producing artificial ice, which would undoubtedly be very interesting to witness; and there are many, whom it would be a difficult task to convince of its reality by any thing abort of occular demonstration : " One of the most singularly beautiful experiment perhaps ever devised, has been recently published by M. Provotshire, illustrative of the repellant power of heat radiating from bodies of high temperature, and the rapid abstraction of heat produced by evaporation, or generally by such a change of condition as largely increases the volume of any body. The experiment is simply thisi A platinum crucible is made and maintained red-hot, over a large spirit lamp. Some sulphurous acid is poured into it from a pipette. This acid, though at common temperatures one of the most volatile of known bodies, possesses the singular property of remaining fixed in the red-hot crucible, and not a drop of it evaporates ; in fact, it is not in contact with the crucible, but has an atmosphere of its own interposed. A few drops of common water are now added to the sulphurous acid in the red-hot crucible. The diluted acid gets into immediate contact with the heated metal instantly flashes ofT into sulphurous acid vapor, and such ia the rapidity and energy of the evaporation, that the water remains behind, and it is found frozen into a lump of ice in the red-hot crucible, from which, seizing the moment before it again melts, it may be thrown out before the eyes of the astonished observer." The Euffalo correspondent of the Rochester Daily Democrat, writing from that city, on the 4th inst gives the following extraordinary intelligence: -u EAunuruuiary excitement nas prevailed at Qtieenston and Lewiston for the last three days.
